Loving life

So it is almost eight and I am thinking time for bed. It was a long day at Wildlife Park. I send the kids outside so Rufus can go potty. They all go out and start running around having a blast. They are chasing the dog, digging in the sand, etc. I am just watching them enjoying the moment. Then I start looking around at the different houses. I am realizing that most of the families are getting the kids off to bed for school tomorrow. They all have schedules to keep. I start feeling so lucky that my kids can still be free. We do not have to keep a schedule if we do not want to. We do not have to rush them off to bed. They are free to just be. We are living this amazing life. I am so grateful. So needless to say they got to stay up late tonight.
